My Project

The materials will be used to operate the school library properly after the library was closed for several years due to librarian retirement and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The list of essential items urgently needed is quite long, from shelf dividers, a stapler, and sign holders to bookmarks, posters, a laminator, and book label protectors.

Although the items requested on this list are only a small portion of what is required to properly operate a school library, these materials will really help to enhance library programming and encourage student engagement and lifelong literacy.
